High School Students Discuss Risky Behaviors

The Connection high school interns – Nikki Cheshire (Langley High), Monika Bapna (Marshall High) and Mary Grace Oakes (Madeira) – asked area high school students: What type of risky behaviors do some youth engage in and what do you think poses the greatest risk? Are there certain activities that can lend themselves more to risky behavior because of the nature of the group? Here are their responses.

Reckless driving is one of the most common and most dangerous risky behaviors that high school students engage in. Enough so that several parents last year chose to donate a car rather than give it to their teenage son or daughter.

The idea of ​​a health care system "healthy" sounds good. We need to support our New Health Care Laws with free treatments that help us to prevent disease.

These are some great kids and i hope that at least one of them will receive a MBA NC at some point. I think that the level of education has grown really fast in the past years especially because of the internet and the development of technology. We have much more access than we used to information.
